Anyone ordered tyres from here?

Hi Al, yeah I believe some people do run a 55, but will stick to the 50 as I would think there's a lot of experts at Kawasaki that put a lot of time and effort into researching the correct profile, and I will bow to their superior knowledge. The tyre is being collected over next couple of days for a full refund, and I've ordered the correct tyre off them this time! Good service.

Glad you getting sorted,,

Its a shame Kawasaki can't apply the same " time and effort into researching " stuff that doesn't corrode , flake, warp or mist up in less than a year

Lol..... or Run out of battery life..... Spoke to Kawasaki today as the rear TPS sensor packed up about 3 months ago. I have a 10 plate bike and asked them if they honoured the warranty on the TPS as I said others on the forum have had theirs covered.
He basically said no due to the bike having 23,000 on the clock, the fact that I didn't give them or a dealer wads of cash as I didn't buy it new, (it was a private second hand purchase), and because I don't line the Kwak dealers pockets with cash during the year as I service the bike myself. He also said it depended on how the bike was used, whatever that means!
It seems that they will pay some of the costs if you're a good customer of a dealer reading between the lines.
Oh well, time for the battery mod

is refitting the tyre an issue due to the tp sensors? the local not very techy garage up the road can fit and balance tryes but is fitting them a specialist operation?
also i ordered from tyreleader as per the original poster
ordered and paid for on monday evening 24/3
got confirmation email straight away and then next morning at 7am got details of delivery.(which were not availablle yet!!) 25/3
then got tracking numbers yesterday 27/3
and being delivered today as according to tracking its on a van on route. 28/3

so not the quickest if you are in a rush etc but for 128 quid for a rear pr4 gt its got to be worth the wait as the cheapest elsewhere on the net was 148 quid.
and locally 180 quid fitted !!

Not specialist.

Tell them that there is a tyre sensor at the valve. That's all they need to know

And then watch them like a hawk when they break the bead. If they are going anywhere near the valve, stop them.

Same with when they put the bar in to lift the tyre off the rim. Anywhere near the valve, stop them.

I've stopped using one garage for my tyre change precisely for this reason. Informed them about the sensor and then had to run out of the waiting area as he was about to destroy the TPS. Thought he might have got it, but then proceeded to make the same mistake with the other wheel.

The thing is, if you get the tyres through your kwack dealer and they break the easily breakable TPSs fitting the tyres, they will make good. If your 'other' tyre fitted  :censored:ks up, they would probably put up resistance to lashing out for an expensive TPS. I worked out it cost me about £30 extra getting both my tyres replaced and fitted by my local Kawasaki dealer. .. But I slept easier.
